Abstract

This paper presents a new method to detect retinal microaneurysms, which are the first sign of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The methods of automatic microaneurysm detection can be generally classified into two groups: filtering based methods and supervised methods. The detection accuracy of the filtering based methods is affected by the background noises and the small vessels. The supervised methods generally have better accuracy by feature sets extraction and training. But the computational cost of feature sets extraction is very high, which makes the supervised methods not suitable for large population screening. And the accuracy of supervised methods will affected by training samples. This paper presents a new method to detect retinal microaneurysms using Multi-orientation Sum of Matched Filter (MSMF), which can well suppress the affection of background noises and the small vessels. Experimental results show that our method is fast and effective in microaneurysm detection.
